Puddle Fun

With the balmy nearly 50 degree temperatures we are having here today the snow is melting very quickly. This lovely snow melting is creating lots of fun puddles to play in. Here is Jack making a break for the puddles at the end of our driveway (more like a raging rapid at this point)
Stomping in the water

Getting as wet as possible
Owen was excited to run outside. This is something he has never really had the opportunity to do since it was already cold and snowy by the time he could walk.
Really soaking everything
Concerned that I was making him go inside so he didn't freeze himself
We had to throw them right into the bath. They didn't seem to mind!

Play Time

We went to visit Grandpa tonight and had fun playing in the basement

All About Owen

Owen is significantly easier to take pictures of than Jack is. You just talk to him and he smiles at you. Jack never wants to stop moving long enough to get a picture taken so today is all Owen.
This is the look you get when you try to take Easy Mac away from a chubby baby

Super Bowl Sunday

We spent this afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa's house for Daddy's Birthday celebration and the Super Bowl. Before we left Daddy and Jack enjoyed the tropical (40 degree!!!) weather while Daddy shoveled the driveway. Unfortunately the weather was a one day shot and tomorrow it is back to cold and snow!
Jack was excited about the snow chunks off of the driveway

At Grandma and Grandpa's, Owen found a piece of bread with jelly on it and helped himself. He made quite a mess of himself!
Messy guy
Jack had the honor of putting the candles in Daddy's Birthday cake

Happy Birthday Daddy!
Jack loves to lick the frosting off the candles
Testing the frosting on the cake
Daddy got this gift and Owen loved the guy on the box. All evening he kept going up to the box and bending over and "talking" to this guy and touching his face. It was hilarious!
Jack wrapped this gift for Daddy the other day. Check out the tape job!
Here is Owen doing some climbing during the game. He got up there by himself (more than once)!
